Use John Deere SD Polyurea grease or other grease as specified in Fuel, Lubricants and Coolant section. In extremely wet conditions service daily or every 10 Hours.

Apply grease to both U-joints, using fitting (A).

Drilled passages in the cross allow grease to reach all four bearings from a single grease fitting.

For normal operations, outboard U-joints are sealed and not equipped with grease fittings. For extremely wet conditions:

1. Replace plugs (A) with M10 thread 90° grease fittings, part number 58M5580.
2. Lubricate U-joints daily or every 10 hours.
3. Replace grease fitting with plug and tighten to torque specification.
